Are there many people that kite in Karratha and what is it like?

Looks like I have a new position to go to up there - heard about surf on the islands and alike so keen to hear more

Cheers

I have never kited there but I have flown over the islands on the way to oil rigs and stuff and it looks brilliant.

It looks like you could kite on any wind as long as you have a boat, I did not see much surf though from that height.

The wind I think is not as consistent as what it is here in Perth but then it was during winter that I was traveling up there.

I worked on the salt mine in dampier many years ago, and in summer the wind is really strong and consistant. thats why they put an evaporation salt pond there. winter is a lot calmer for winds. theres a lot of big ocean creatures, manta rays, tiger's etc out in the ocean. the tiger sharks sort of concerned me a bit. I think they are well fed though. I think you gotta get there on the right tide also.
